same way i don’t understand how you wouldn’t be bothered by the air conditioning turning on in the middle of conversations to the point where you lose your train of thought. our bodies were built to filter out different sensations at different times. it just happens to fluctuate depending on what is happening. when im focused i forget to eat but i wont forget to change the channel on the tv or adjust the music. for a NT they might eat but not even think ab playing something like that bc

that’s not necessarily a need that needs to be fulfilled. might not have been the best examples it’s pretty late but that’s the way i can explain it best rn xx
